Lafayette Wrestling: Preview and Derby Classic

The Lafayette Wrestling team is looking very strong and ready for the new season. Coach William Green says while there are no definitive leaders for the team, some of the seniors are stepping up into a leader role.

Last year, the team went 8-4 in competition, and was ranked at 11th in the state, but this year they are ranked 32nd and are looking to rebuild. There are four wrestlers out of five that went to State last year and are returning to compete this year: Thomas Haggan, Jack Raymond, Kevin Vasquez, and Mason Boggs.

This past weekend the wrestling team participated in the Derby City Classic. Lafayette took 11 Wrestlers. Six made it to finals and five received medals. Overall, Lafayette came in 6th out of 15 schools competing this weekend. The team also received the Team Sportsmanship Award.
